Residential Schools in India
A Comparative Case Study of Peacebuilding and Social-Empowerment Activities in Food-Assisted Programming at Four Residential Institutions
Reina Neufeldt, Kishor Patnaik, Christine Capacci Carneal
This participatory case study explores relational and structural peacebuilding activities in four food-assisted education programs designed to promote disadvantaged children's access to education in tribal areas of India. The research examines residential institutions and their use of peacebuilding innovations to identify lessons for future integrated peacebuilding and education programming. The CRS Integrated Human Development (IHD) Framework was used to analyze strategies to achieve change. The four cases highlighted that while structural change was difficult, it was nevertheless possible. Combined peacebuilding and education efforts were mutually reinforcing strategies to help students and the larger community become more resilient to conflict.
